Indian astrologer predicts World T20 2016 winner

NEW DELHI: Pakistan may not have performed well in the recent T20 matches, but an Indian “scientific astrologer” has come up with a prediction showing Pakistan could do wonders at the World T20, leaving Pakistani fans wondering!

He also says that if comes to Pakistan and India in the final, the green shirts will overcome the rivals this time.

Having based their hopes on current form, the home advantage factor and head-to-head World Cup history involving India and Pakistan, Indian fans might like to believe otherwise.

But astrologer Greenstone Lobo, who says his analysis is research-based and scientific and who calls himself a “scientific astrologer”, predicts India will not win the World T20 this time.

The reason: Dhoni’s stars are not favourable.

The astrologer says March 19 will be “favourable” for Dhoni, and India will overcome Pakistan in the league stage in the Eden encounter.

But it will be Pakistan who will be the winners in the final, says Lobo, author of a book on astrology, ‘What Is Your True Zodiac Sign?’

The astrologer’s predictionscould spark joy among Pakistani fans, but the game has much twists still to unfold.

In a signed column on Friday in Ananda Bazar Patrika, a leading Bengali daily from Kolkata, Lobo, in fact, mentions Pakistan as the likely Cup winners — should they manage to reach the final.

He does not analyse Shahid Afridi’s stars, and a note in the bottom of the article says prospects of the other teams and captains will follow in the coming days. But of this Lobo is sure — Dhoni’s cosmic luck has run out as far as “big events” are concerned.

Lobo says the Planet X, or asteroid 2007 RH283 — apparently an important star astrologically — falls in Dhoni’s 10th house of the cosmic chart, which implies loss.

According to him, a skipper may win a “few smaller events” when he enters a lean patch astrologically, but not the big ones.
